GTIS Qualified Opportunity Zone Fund II


The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 created a new program that incentivizes investment in selected development areas by eliminating capital gains taxes after a 10-year hold period. The program is widely viewed as the most substantial development incentive created over the past few decades by the federal government and particularly favors investments in ground-up real estate development and redevelopment.
